Smelly bastards. Not one for conspiracy theories right, but how can the ref think sterling ISNT fouled in their box, but that hart is. Same challenge

Was this in the same phase of play? I didn’t see a foul on sterling.

Missing a captain again today. Someone to encourage and drive us forward. Been missing all season 

That's the same guy who has a massive role within the club also mate. That speaks volumes to me

Our goal getting cut off was very harsh to say the least!

But if the same level of scrutiny was applied consistently by the VAR team/ref you'd accept it. But it clearly wasn't!!!

Plenty have said it was a “clear” foul. Well Walsh obviously thought otherwise as he didn’t give it. But once again the game is reffed by VAR.

That's one of our main problems. 

Good players constantly make the right pass/decisions/test the keeper when running at goal.

At no point when any of our players are 3 v 2 or even through on the keeper do I think "we're scoring here"

Regardless of opposition. 

Sima’s shot when he did get through was absolutely abysmal & only just back from injury does not let him off the hook for that.

First half ,Tav I think, punted a ball over the top Sterling was running onto it just outside the box & Scales just came through & barged him out the way it, was blatant af, outside the box though 

[MVRanger 2,872]

Talking about this win "sparking a period of sellick dominance".  How can they actually get any more dominant than they already are FFS?

Nah, apart from Cantwell for Wright I think he got everything spot on today. We had them on the ropes almost constantly until their goal that came from an unfortunate Butland moment 

cantwell was a red card waiting

Butland wouldn't have ran half the length of the park after the referee motioning push with his hands. Like the other gutless bastards in this "Rangers" side he'd have bowed his head and meekly accepted it. The filth know if they claim hard enough on big calls var will rescue them. Today was yet another example. 

I mean he was pushed - stupidity was from raskin not officials (plenty dodgy decisions throughout excepting that one)

Then they break from it, Diamonde (I think it was) shoves one of their players. Foul. Ref is a wee cheating sleekit cunt.

He was pushed but I don't think he was getting anywhere near it. Was a tremendous ball in about the only good thing Tavernier did the entire match. Raskin gave var the get out clause and they duly obliged. 

[VERITAS VOS LIBREBETS 3,424]

How come the 'foul' was given against Raskin but fuck all for Taylor grabbing him around the waist and pulling him back? Thought VAR was meant to have a good look? maybe only at Rangers players........

Just don’t have the quality simple as that.

Just back from the game. That was a fuckin sickener.  One fuckin mistake from Butland cost us. The lack of a fuckin goal threat cost us too. I thought the ref was awful

Every point pretty much spot on bud.

Roll on next season with hopefully a team full of desire and fight. 

2 things that are a bare minimum expected from any Rangers side, but sorely lacking in the last 8 years

Thought Sterling was going to punch the ref when he got subbed. If looks could kill. 

Think he mouthed something at him also. Hopefully "You're a wee cheating rat bastard"

This is where we need to practice some dark arts and start saying sentences like this out in the press. 

Oh, you sweet summer child. We surrendered that battle many moons ago, such winning tactics are for others while we accept being second, forever.

[The Ibrox Derry 9,226]

What has been blatantly obvious for ages now is we need a cutting edge striker.

I said not signing Shankland or Miovski or someone similar in January will come back to bite us on the arse, and it has.

It has cost us the treble.

We sign Fabio fucking Silva when we would have been better with Long John Silva.

Club is ran by amateurs, who are happy with being 2nd.

Fans deserve so much more than what this team has given them these past years.

I'm not having a go at the big man, he's the least of our problems bud.

I seriously hope we can get him back next season but unlikely as it's his last year of his contract.

Nick Walsh didn't think either were fouls. VAR intervenes on Raskin because a goal is scored. VAR doesn't intervene on Scale's push because it would only be a free kick. 

[Redmond7 1,539]

The fans were amazing, but they usually are. Hardly heard the taigs all game and at one point forgot the were even there.
